WASHINGTON – The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) invites public comments on the modernization of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which is authorized through December 31, 2026.
“A modern AGOA must build on its 25-year foundation to further deepen the economic ties between the United States and sub-Saharan Africa by benefitting American workers, eliminating barriers to trade, and creating new opportunities for U.S. businesses,” said Ambassador Greer. “We welcome comments from interested partners to help improve the program, ensuring more reciprocal trade with our sub-Saharan African partners to strengthen America’s global competitiveness.”
The deadline for submission of comments is May 15, 2026.
